Phineas and Ferb Wiki

Hop on, boys, we're about to take off on a ride of a lifetime.

— Lawrence Fletcher

Inspired by Dad's favorite childhood program, the boys decide to create a magic carpet, and Candace is convinced that fortune cookies will lead her to bust her brothers. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz plans on ruining his brother's art unveiling by using his "Stain-inator" to ruin a mysterious painting.

Episode Summary[]

Lawrence invites Phineas and Ferb to watch the brand new digitally remastered third series of his favorite show growing up, The Pinhead Pierre Show!; however they are unimpressed by the outdated effects of the magic carpet scene. Linda asks Lawrence to look at some kitchen tile samples to redo the living room, and he obeys, showing signs of disappointment that his childhood memories are not as exciting as he remembered. Phineas declares that he knows what they are going to do today.

Major Monogram is awakened as Perry drops into his chair at headquarters. He tiredly tells Perry that Doofenshmirtz has completely cleared the Tri-State Area of all grape juice, red wine, chocolate, marinara sauce, India ink, and coffee. He then apologizes for being drowsy, explaining that he hasn't had his morning coffee.

At the Better Panda restaurant, Candace tells a passive Stacy that things never turn out how she plans. Stacy offers a fortune cookie to her, and after some coincidental fortunes come true, Candace places her faith in them and takes a bowl of fortune cookies from the restaurant.

Back at the house, Phineas explains how the modified carpet works to Lawrence, and the second floor of the house lifts up so the carpet can take to the sky. Meanwhile, Perry breaks into a window at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated and is immediately tied up to a luggage carrier. Doofenshmirtz wheels him to his hovercraft and shows him his Stain-inator. He explains that, when he was a youth in Gimmelshtump, he yearned for a career in fine arts. He loved painting, though found his muse somewhat inaccessible. One day, as he was about to give up, he gained inspiration and stayed up for three days painting his masterpiece. However, his brother Roger accidentally spilt sloppy Joe and many other foods and drinks on it. Doofenshmirtz made a solemn vow that Roger would someday pay for what he did. He explains that his Stain-inator was designed to ruin a painting that Roger would be unveiling for the lobby of City Hall.

Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet join Phineas and Ferb on the magic carpet ride as they fly through the sky. Candace further explains her belief of fortune cookies to Stacy, as the last fortune leads her home.

As Roger prepares to unveil the painting, Heinz puts the Stain-inator on auto fire, making it unstoppable. However, Roger reveals that the painting is Heinz's, and that he had spent the past two decades restoring it in order to make amends. Upon hearing this, Doofenshmirtz attempts to stop the Stain-inator from firing, but it is too late, and the painting is ruined again, much to both Heinz and Roger's dismay. As Roger ponders over his failure to unveil Heinz's painting to the public, an unhappy Doofenshmirtz lets his hovercraft crash while Perry flies off on his para-glider. Doofenshmirtz then angrily kicks the Stain-inator in frustration, causing it to fire and hit the bottom of the magic carpet as it descends into the living room. Candace leads Linda into the living room. She is impressed with the new carpet and says that it's much better than tiles. Everyone goes out for Chinese food and Candace learns not to believe in fortune cookies.

Memorable Quotes[]

Major Monogram: WRONG PANTS! Huh? Oh, sorry, Agent P. I just was, uh, dozing there. Anyway, it appears Dr. Doofenshmirtz has cleared all the Tri-State Area of grape juice, red wine, marinara sauce, chocolate, India ink, and, worst of all, (holds up mug) coffee! So, uh, go and, you know, that thing, that thing, uh... Sorry. I'm just no good without that first mug o' Joe.
Candace: All the problems in my life can be solved through concrete knowledge of the future!
Stacy: Right; as you create a whole new set of problems.
Candace: Oh, stop being so close-minded. For instance, what's my biggest problem?
Stacy: You believe fortune cookies are real?
Candace: I mean, besides that.
Stacy: Ew! Gross!
Candace: Gross... but foretold, Stacy. Preordained! What's next? What's next?!
Stacy: Better be something about soap.
Candace: What do you say to that, Doubty McNonbelief?
Stacy: Why am I suddenly Irish?
Roger: I've always been a great lover of the arts.

Doofenshmirtz: Liar Liar Pantalones del Fuego.
Doofenshmirtz: Behold this, you stupid... (kicks Stain-inator)

Errors[]

And its weave is so tight and so soft

Where did Isabella's socks go?

  • During the song "Aerial Area Rug", Phineas' arm is gone for a split second, and Isabella's socks are gone in one scene.
  • When Doofenshmirtz kicks the Stain-inator, the paintball that is released from it is red, but when it is in the air, the paintball is purple.
  • When Candace sees what the boys are up to, the cheese is not in her left arm, but when she calls Mom, the cheese is there.
  • When Doofenshmirtz first traps Perry, the ropes are red, but when he is on the ship, the ropes are purple. When Doofenshmirtz starts talking, they go back to red.
  • When the boys show Lawrence their invention, at first, the TV has the word "Ready" and the white and blue rectangles have already floated up. However, when it zooms in, the word "Ready" disappears and the blue rectangles haven't floated up yet.
  • The paintball hits only the bottom of the carpet, but the entire living room floor is shown to be stained.
  • In Major Monogram's coffee cup, "officer" is misspelled as "officor".

Continuity[]

Allusions[]

  • Aladdin - Phineas and Ferb build a magic carpet. The song and episode title reference the Aladdin-themed magic carpet ride at various Disney theme parks. Additionally, when Candace and Stacy are near the fish market, the man's yell of "Hey all, catch it now, fresh fish! Fresh fish!" is similar to the scene where Jasmine walks down the bazaar and a fish seller there yells the same thing.
  • Titanic - Ferb asks who would also like to be king of the world while standing on the front of the carpet with his arms outstretched. This is a reference to the iconic "King of the World" scene from the film.
  • Odyssey - The book Doofenshmirtz is holding while laying in bed in the flashback.
  • Pinocchio - Candace says "Fate is kind", which is one of the lyrics of "When You Wish Upon a Star".
